Direct Relief is monitoring Hurricane Laura and is in contact with health facilities across Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi, ready to respond as needed.
Each year, caches of essential medicines are staged in hurricane-prone communities across the U.S. Gulf Coast and the Caribbean. These hurricane preparedness packs are stored at partner health facilities and contain many of the essential medications commonly requested after a disaster, and relied upon to keep patients with chronic medical conditions out of local emergency rooms.
Direct Relief also has inventory on-hand to send additional shipments of medicines and supplies as needed in the days and weeks to follow.
